Arriving there, apparently, nothing seems wrong, apart perhaps that man in a flower shirt, Owen...As any Artifex Mundi, this game is of quality. Unfortunately, I didn't really enjoy it as I should. It was kinda hard to enter the story this time because I have immediately understood who was the culprit, contrary to Grim Legends for example.I had a problem with one of the HO scenes where, despite clicking on the right item, it wasn't being picked up. I don't know how I managed to get it past (clicking and clicking and finding finally the hitbox), yet, it was frustrating. I don't know if it had been solved or not as I uninstall the game once I got everything I wanted from it.But despite this, it's an Artifex Mundi game: well polished, well thought, good visuals, good soundtrack and with nice twists.Given the fact that I've played the game a long time ago, why the review now? Guess what will be released in a few days? 9 Clues 2! It seems a little more darker than the first 9 Clues, more psychological (yay!), so, it was time to put a review for the game :).Buy it anyway :).. Game is good if you're a newbie to hidden object\/search and find mystery games. Those who have played these games often (even casually really) will find this one predictable quickly. It's unfortunate because I've played several games by this publisher recently, and those were rather enjoyable. Within the first five minutes I already knew who had done it. The hidden object puzzles were not really hidden objects.. As much as I love Artifex Mundi games and the graphics they have in their games, this one left a bad taste in my mouth. Don't get me wrong here ; if you want an easy hidden object game with a simple story then this game is for you. However, if you are a fan of ''Nightmares of the Deep'' like me, you will be saddened by this one.The puzzle were too easy. I felt no challenge and I could almost tell which object I had to click on without looking at the list I had. Second, the story made absolutely no sense and felt sort of rushed. The characters have no background so you don't even know who they are to your character and why they're all in this city. --WARNING SPOILER FROM HERE!!!!--The ''bad guys'' are very predictable. No surprise at all at the ending that also left me really unsatisfied. What also got me frustrated is how, for example, you have to find a way to touch an electrified cable and you need gloves ; you don't even have to look around in the map, it's right next to the electrified cable !! What is the point of having a hidden object game when the objects are not even hidden?-- END OF SPOILER --I am really deceived and hope that I will not come across another one like this. If you still want to try this game, I recommend to wait until it goes on sale because it's not worth the full price.. Another great HOG game :). I've played a lot of hidden object games on Steam and this is the first one that had very positive reviews that I really didn't like. Cons:- The puzzles are incredibly easy. If you play on expert the only time you might get tripped up is in "detective" mode.- I blew through it in 2.5 hrs while cooking dinner at the same time.- The storyline isn't that interesting and you pretty much can figure out what is up from the beginning.- If you're deathly afraid of snakes it might give you the creeps.Pros:- The voice acting was fun.- The hidden object portion is well done. I never had to use a hint due to bad coloring or poor graphics.- If you're deathly afraid of snakes it might give you the creeps.. 9 Clues: The Secret of Serpent Creek is a well-designed hidden object puzzle game by Tap It Games and top genre publisher Artifex Mundi. The graphics are more cartoonish, but they still fit the film noir \/ 1950s detective theme. I like how the sound effects are tailored to the theme as well \u2013 in this case, an old-fashioned camera sound occurs when you click on things. The 9 clues mechanic which gives the game its name is fun even if the stories deduced are a little funny in an out there sort of way.The game is susceptible to those idiosyncrasies that sometimes occur in this type of game. For example, requiring you to open a pull-tab can with a knife. Also, as a museum professional \u2013 ack! Lol the treatment of artifacts. I also had a minor quibble with historical accuracy. Elvis Presley first started making music in 1953, so he certainly wasn't famous enough to be known as the King by the time this game takes place in September of that year.However, the ending leaves room for a sequel, and I purchased the sequel as soon as possible when it came out, so let that speak for itself. :). It's a decent game to play if you like hidden objects and puzzles. Being that it has a pretty specific storyline, it doesn't have much replayability--the only real difference seems to be that some of the hidden object minigames ask for different items (excluding the one item you need for the storyline), but since you do a lot of them twice, it ends up all being the same stuff.For example:Playthrough One - Find STORY ITEM 1, star, fish, and shovel. Later you go back and find the STORY ITEM 2, book, wrench, and ball.Playthrough Two - Find STORY ITEM 1, fish, ball, and wrench. Later you go back and find STORY ITEM 2, shovel, book, and star. I finished the game (completing the story + a second playthrough for the achievements I missed) in ~5hrs. It's enjoyable the first time (even if a pretty weird story). And, you may end up replaying it for any achievements you miss. I'd say look into the Trade thread and trade someone for a 50% off coupon if you don't already have it. I think it's worth $4.. This Hidden Object game is fairly short and the puzzles aren't particularly difficult. Still, the story is so much fun. You're exploring a creepy town and running into large snakes on a regular basis. Most of the townsfolk seem zombie-ish and the rest are highly suspicious. Your friend sent you a distress call from this location so it's up to you to find her and figure out what the heck is going on. Secret of Serpent Creek was so enjoyable that I played it a couple times in a row. And I'm sure I'll play it again at some point. If you find this game on sale and you enjoy hidden object games, puzzles, or SNAKES (I love snakes :p), then I definitely recommend this game.. A hidden object game that tells a story and has a couple of different types of puzzels thrown in for good measure too. Is it the best story telling? No, but I enjoyed it depite the predictability. I think that my 8 year old neice would really enjoy the story though as although it isn't spooky, it isn't babyish. I might wait another year \/ check with her mum before allowing her to play though as you see a murder victim's body - it isn't graphic or gory but it's still a subject matter that the parents should agree on beforehand. I bought a few of these games when they were reduced on sale, I'm not sure I would pay full price for them (they seem to be about \u00a36 normally) but for \u00a32 on sale? Bargin!. Game Information9 Clues: The Secret of Serpent Creek is an Hidden Object Puzzle Adventure game that was developed by Tap It Games and published by Artifex Mundi.Game VisualsI want to mentioned that the visuals in the game is nicely done with a painted feel to them.
